About Us

3D Concepts was started in September 2022 by Stuart, Paul, and Andrew Connell.

Our father and son’s team is comprised of a retired construction and mining equipment engineer who used to race motocross, a car, truck, and motorcycle enthusiast, and a certified aircraft mechanic who loves to ride in the mountains. Together, we’ve been printing motorcycle parts for the past four years before starting 3D Concepts as a company.

Our motorcycle addiction goes back to the 1970s and 80s when our father, Stuart, raced motocross in the southwest part of the United States. Andrew and Paul’s first bikes were a Yamaha YZ-80 and a KTM 125SX. Andrew took to the dirt like a fish to water, while Paul’s interest peaked when he moved to Idaho in 2012 because of the amazing mountain single track.

Our history of 3D printing goes back four years before 3D Concepts was even an idea when Stuart bought his first printer. Because of his “do-it-myself” personality, he naturally started printing anything he could think of. This included parts for our motorcycles. After a while, we started showing the cool stuff he had made for dirt bikes and got a lot of interest from friends, family, and the local Treasure Valley community.

Now we are offering all our cool stuff to you. We hope you like it as much as we do!

Our Core Value

We started making motorcycle parts for ourselves because we wanted something better. Now we want to provide something better for you too!

Why Do We Do It?

We love to ride! We love to build things! And our goal is to offer premium protection for critical offroad motorcycle parts.
